April 6th, Zakuska
"Hello!  We are Zakuska. We are a local group that plays and sings traditional Balkan dance tunes from many countries/regions such as:  Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Romania, Albania, Turkey, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Hungary.   Our focus is on vocal music with instrumental accompaniments.  Members include Jana Rickel, Sue Niemann, Jan Tominaga, Krista Canterbury and Fred Graves.   We play traditional instruments, as well as some that are more modern, including:  gadulka, kaval, tambura, bugaria, dumbek, tupan, clarinet, accordion, zils, violin and electric bass.  One of our passions is to keep Balkan music alive in Seattle - we love to play and sing these great tunes.  Please come and dance to our lively music."
